Ophtho secondaries

[ReesesDoc]

Will we be notified via email if programs need secondaries, or do we have to hunt them out ourselves??

Some programs email you, others do not. I would definitely recommend checking the sfmatch site.

Wow thanks. Where on the SF site does it state this?? Thanks again

If you click on the program on SFMatch, some of them will list the secondary requirements under program description. The only programs (of the ones I applied to) I've seen that have them listed are UCSD and another one that I can't remember.

Anyone receive an email from New England Eye Center about submitting three sentences?

A friend of mine who is also applying this cycle received an email requesting this.

A friend of mine who is also applying this cycle received an email requesting this.

I'm a little confused because they sent another email saying "requested paragraphs." Do they want 3 sentences or 3 paragraphs?

 

[Xinlitik]

I believe they were addressing the group's paragraphs. We all have a paragraph to turn in, thus "paragraphs" should be submitted. Not the best wording of course haha

Yeah I agree. 3 sentences is a pretty short paragraph...

University of Minnesota sent a request for paragraph of interest.
